Hello everybody,

Here is the solution, that helped in my case:
1) Start Cygwin installation and switch to UNIX file mode (no additional
package installed, see Cygwin/XFree86 Installation Guide p. 9)
2) Mount DOS drive in binary mode. By typing "mount", you can check your
mode. If if is "textmode", you have to
- unmout your system: cd /cygwin/bin umount /
- remount your system: ./mount -b c: /
3) Reinstall XFree86
====>>>>> BUT my bash-prompt changed. Instead of "<path>$" it has changed to
"bash-2.05a$" ????
Yours
Michael
